Cold Case, Season 3

John Doe:
They get into cars with strangers and believe they'll live forever.

Lily Rush:
You think that's a crime?

John Doe:
It is because they won't. They should know that and not be disappointed later.

Lily Rush:
Like you once were.

John Doe:
I've been dying for 26 years. I never believed.

Lily Rush:
Didn't you? And I'd give anything to never have walked into that attic. Never looked down the barrel of his gun. So I could still believe that I'd live forever. Remember?

John Doe:
No.

Lily Rush:
It's the most beautiful thing we'll ever do. Believing that.

John Doe:
I don't remember.

Lily Rush:
I do. Wintertime alone on the street learning to ride my bike. It's almost dark. I remember the wind in my face, and closing my eyes, and suddenly I'm flying. You don't hate them because they believe they'll live forever. You hate them because we once did, too.
